Toddler Doodles
Noelle seems to have turned into a full blown toddler over night. We are now starting to get past the “Aww, it’s such a little tiny person actually WALKING!” stage and moving on into the “Wow, the little tiny person sure does move fast and no! Noelle drop that/don’t eat that/put that down” stage. She seems to be into EVERY thing these days. It is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that she is going to be one in a couple of weeks.
We finally managed to complete the weaning process. Got her down from nursing once or twice a day to not at all. She still remembers enough to ask every so often but all in all I am very relieved that it went so well. Between my supply being all but gone and her being so easily entertained and distracted by other things it was really quite easy. A relief to me since I had anticipated it being a lot harder emotionally on her than it was!
Steve and I are talking about doing a complete water fast next week. I have had some health problems that we both really think from the reading/researching we have done will be significantly helped with a complete fast. He did one years ago in Russia and had some fantastic health results from it including his severe hypoglycemia disappearing. He has started to have some problems again that he thinks would benefit from a fast. To say I am dreading this would be an understatement. I loath going without food. It will be way easier if I have someone suffering through it with me though. Although Steve is such a rock I doubt there will be much suffering going on there.
It’ll be more like this:Me: “sniff sniff…I’ve been without food for TWELVE HOURS! I think I’m dying.”
Him: “Wow, 12 hours already? I thought we just started an hour ago.”
Me: “I am so weak and shaky. I don’t want to get out of bed.”
Him: I think I want to go for a little bit of a run today!”
Me: “I am having hallucinations about chocolate. It’s floating just in front of me I can even SMELL it.”
Him: “Huh, I haven’t even really missed food yet.”It will be nice to do this during the week when we have so many people around to help out with Noelle so that if I do turn into the most pathetic thing around she will have some Mommy backups to play with.
I think I am going to go eat while I still can.

I have to say sis, that my fav part of this post, was hearing your discription of you Vs. Steve in a fast. Made me laugh right here at work at 0530hours.
And then my least fav. was hearing about doodles. I MISS HER… You know, shes small, Not THAT heavy, and it wouldn’t take too much of a food and water supply to keep her and uncle John nurished in a box or two… How about sending them out to visit me! 
I think you have some good connections with the Shipping companys anyway! 
That little quip about you and your husband on a fast was hilarious. You have quite a sense of humor. Keep living for Christ and enjoying every minute!
